For writers
Before the manuscript leaves your hands.
Writing moves through many hands before it is published. Agents, editors, co-writers, workshop groups — your draft exists long before any formal agreement. Lyricsmit gives you a private, verifiable record of your document at the moment it exists.
Submitting to agents
You send a query letter, a synopsis, or a full manuscript to a literary agent. The submission goes before any agreement exists. A Lyricsmit record timestamps the document at the moment of submission, independent of any platform or inbox.
Sharing drafts with editors
You work with a developmental editor, a writing partner, or a workshop group. Drafts move around before they are final. A timestamped record of each draft version establishes when it existed and what it contained.
Pitching original work
You pitch a book concept, a column idea, or a non-fiction proposal. The idea exists in writing before any publisher sees it. A Lyricsmit record creates a verifiable reference point — your words at that date, preserved.
Proof of existence. Not a copyright claim.
Lyricsmit does not register ownership, authorship, or legal rights. It creates a timestamped record showing a specific file existed at a specific moment — verifiable by anyone with the link, at any time.
That record is independent. It does not depend on a publisher, a platform, or another person to confirm it.
